Events to Build Community
LakewoodAlive hosts a series of community events throughout the year including the Lakewood Summer Meltdown, the Spooky Pooch Parade, Light Up Lakewood, and more! Our events are meant to bring people together and improve quality of life for Lakewood residents and visitors from the greater Cleveland area and beyond, which is why most of our events are free to attend.
